I am using a 64 bit machine with CentOS5. I am getting the following  
errors
when I try to install the rimage package

g++ -shared -L/usr/local/lib64 -o rimage.so equalize.o  
fftw_access_func.o
freqfilters.o interface.o jpegio.o laplacian.o matrix.o smooth.o  
sobel.o
-ljpeg -lfftw
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libfftw.a(fftwnd.o): relocation  
R_X86_64_32
against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object;
recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/lib/libfftw.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [rimage.so] Error 1
chmod: cannot access `/home/shantanu/R/rimage/libs/*': No such file or
directory
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'rimage'

Any help would be appreciated. Could not find anything with google  
search.

It helps to read the error, because that tells you all you need to  
know - you have to recompile libfftw with -fPIC (or use dynamic  
library instead of static one).

Cheers,

I am using a 64 bit machine with CentOS5. I am getting the following errors

/usr/local/lib/libfftw.a: is where a 32-bit static library is placed. 
This looks like a 64-bit system, in which case you need a dynamic library, 
/usr/local/lib64/libfftw.so.

This is nothing to do with your subject line (what did 'downloading' have 
to do with this?), but reflects a problem with a local software install on 
your machine.  Only you can explain how fftw2 got installed as it did.
